Welcome and Introductions TM welcomed everyone to this year’s AGM. TM went on to give a great vote of thanks to James Burridge who is moving on from his role as Director of Coaching & Development. TM said that James had been continuing to co-ordinate the Girls’ coaching since the boys coaching had moved to Hampshire Cricket last autumn. TM asked CS to present a gift to James from the Association which CS was very pleased to do. 2. Minutes The Minutes of the meeting on Tuesday 6 October 2015 were signed as a true record with no matters arising. 3. Winter leagues update CS gave the update for Dave Wright who could not be present. DW has been pleased with the way the leagues have gone this winter although the numbers of teams was much lower than previous years. The presentation of trophies will take place on Sunday 28th February at River Park Leisure Centre, Winchester around 7pm. after matches for that day have been completed. TM expressed concern at the drop in number of teams entering the Indoor Leagues and a discussion followed detailing that winter sports, Fleming Park and Ageas Bowl leagues were all reducing availability for our clubs. TM said that Dave had asked to leave his role as Indoor Leagues Coordinator at the end of the indoor season. TM suggested a small group be set up to review the situation. SW (Fair Oak) agreed to coordinate the group which would include club representatives from Longparish, St. Cross, and Compton & Chandlers Ford who were great supporters of the Indoor Cricket Leagues. It was suggested that a future format might be a shorter, more concentrated indoor programme across some weekends or a week or two. 4. Finance Report SW summarised the financial position and trends going forward. He reported as follows: Cash at the end of the 2015 year is £14,854, an increase of £1616 on the previous year. SW paid tribute to the District Team Managers for their diligence in collecting fees which showed a marked improvement from the year before. SW went on to explain that with the boys District Cricket now under Hampshire Cricket, the fees will be raised and collected by them, reducing our income in that area. For the time being Girls’ district cricket will still be our responsibility. SW concluded by saying that finances were fairly neutral and we were in a healthy position. TM said there could be money set aside for hardship cases in district girls’ squads and continued by suggesting that Team Managers should liaise with SW (Treasurer) over such instances to maintain as much privacy as possible. This idea had only very recently been considered and TM asked the room for their views. The idea in principle was welcomed and many clubs said they had similar systems in place for their own players. Some clubs said the fees being charged by Hampshire Cricket were too much and were affecting whether players were willing to be nominated. JJ stated that his club had two or three boys who would not attend the current regional coaching because the fees being charged by HC training had increased considerably. 2 6. Programme for Summer 2016 a) The Fixture Programme: GM said that entry forms had been sent to all the clubs for this season and need to be returned by the end of the month so that he can finalise the league set- up. He continued by telling the meeting that there will be no going back to clubs in respect of the leagues they play in at each age group. This will be done by GM (Fixtures Secretary). Any club wishing to enter a team in the U17 Kerry Cup could either contact the Fixtures Secretary or Simon Jones at HCB. When the number of entries are known it will be decided whether WWJCA have a league or a knockout competition for the U17s. b) Girls’ Cricket: On behalf of Chris Counsell (CC), CS told the meeting about the progress with Girls’ teams. There was a meeting about 3 months ago and Minutes of that could be obtained from CC. Girls’ District Festivals dates have been circulated to the District squads. Bobby Parks (Hampshire Cricket) will carry out a review of county and district level girls’ coaching which may be tailored to mirror that of the boys. The WWJCA will be consulted about this. There is a Women’s and Girls’ newsletter available and published by the HCB. Anyone wanting a copy should contact CS. Hampshire Cricket will be the lead organisation for the new Women’s Super League entry which has been finalised for 2016. The Ageas will be the Southern area venue for matches. c) Rules and Fixtures Committee: GM said there were just few changes to the rules which indicated that the ones we have are robust and coping well. The Report of the Rules and Fixtures Sub-Committee which has been circulated to all clubs contains in detail the recommendations for rule changes in 2016. GM explained the proposed changes and said his comments were in line with the report which was agreed by all clubs and there were no matters arising. 7. Coaching and Development a) District Coaching: JB reported that the boys District level coaching was now being run by Hampshire Cricket and that was now part of the Regional Performance Centres. He was now overseeing the girls’ district level coaching which has been arranged with the help of Catherine Trussler. The Under 10s and U12s were at Twyford School. The U14s and U16s were at Perins School this year, as the Sports Hall was larger and better for these age groups. He said the coaches were Emily Windsor, Gemma Dunning, Graham Dodsworth, Steve Wallis and Nick Wheeler. TM asked about the Transition Group that the county had set up to oversee the new Regional Performance Centres. CS said this was happening but not often. The last meeting was in November and the next in mid February. A proposed summer programme had been circulated and some people had said there’s too many matches which might affect availability. b) Training Activities 2016: CS said there will soon be introductory courses in scoring and umpiring for club volunteers. Information had been circulated. It was suggested that a training session on running a junior team for the first time would be useful for many club volunteers, as this was the case for some under 9 teams’ managers. A session in March or April might be a good time. 3 8. Election of Officers The following were elected for 2016-2017 Chairman Tim Milligan General Secretary Colin Smith Treasurer Steve Whitlock Fixtures Secretary Graeme McRobert Director of Coaching & Development Graham Dodsworth Girls’ Clubs Co-ordinator Chris Counsell Development Secretary Catherine Trussler Website Editor Graeme McRobert Meetings Secretary John Stroulger It was noted that John Cook is a co-opted Committee Member, appointed by the Hampshire Cricket Board. 9. Other Reports a) Website information: GM told the meeting that he had made the menu easier to read and some corrections had been made. There was a brief discussion about getting help from one of the local universities to rebuild the website based on the specification that had already been prepared. It was suggested that we seek some help to continue updating the website and perhaps a student volunteer from Solent University or the University of Winchester would be interested in helping us. b) Hampshire Cricket Board Coaches Association: GD stated that the HCBCA will be running two bowling workshops soon, one for Fast Bowling, one for Spin Bowling. They will take place at the Hampshire Collegiate School. Application forms will be sent out in the next couple of weeks for these subsidised sessions which are due to take place at the end of February and beginning of March. They have recently provided 2 batting workshops as refreshers for coaches. There will be more training sessions in the summer. c) Hampshire Cricket Board: TM noted that John Cook could not be present as he was in Australia with the visually impaired cricket squad, a great credit to him and the Hampshire Cricket Board. There were no other matters to report. 10. Any Other Business DG returned to the issue of coaching at the new regional level being charged at considerably higher fees by the Hampshire Cricket and this seemed to be following the pattern of district hockey.

    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 371 – MARCH 2018 (2) Wednesday 28 March 2018 – Meeting The society extends a warm welcome to this evening’s speaker, Adrian Aymes, on his return to the Society. He first addressed members in September 2000, during his benefit year. ADRIAN NIGEL AYMES was born in Southampton on 4 June 1964, and attended Bellemoor School. He came late to first-class cricket. He joined the Hampshire staff when 21 years of age in 1986 but did not gain a regular place until he finally displaced Bob Parks some four years later. He gave notice of what was to follow on his first-class debut against Surrey at The Oval in 1987. With Hampshire in trouble, he battled to 58 not out. Subsequently, no player in the first-class game during the 1990s sold his wicket more dearly. He was undefeated in a high proportion of his innings, which spoke volumes for his technique, temperament and sheer cussedness. With Robin Smith, he became the beating heart and consciousness of the Hampshire batting. If he took root and dug in, Hampshire were generally assured of a competitive total. All of his eight centuries were made in adversity. Of all Hampshire’s wicket-keepers, only his successor, Nic Pothas, has a higher batting average. He was a passionately proud professional, and never gave less than his best. He was fortunate to keep wicket to two of the genuinely great bowlers in the history of the game. At the start of his career, he stood back to the incomparable Malcolm Marshall; latterly, he kept to the unique Shane Warne.

  • The Dazzler 175 National Knockout Cheshire Women's League
    Ma THE Didsbury’s run in National ends in agonising fashion … Appleton win match in hand to DAZZLER 175 go top of division one … Upton edge Appleton 2s in battle of unbeaten division 3 sides … No stopping Appleton and Trinity at top of T20 divisions … Cheshire gain first win but lose three more, as division two future hangs by a thread NATIONAL KNOCKOUT National Knockout Northern Regional Final – June 17: Sessay 115-6 (20; Sophie Richardson 42, Katie Baines 24*, Hannah Jones 2-12) Didsbury 112 (20; Roshini Prince-Navaratnam 45, Laura Griffiths 31, Amy Burton 3-5, Baines 2-3) • Didsbury came within an ace of reaching the national Finals Day, but instead their run in this competition ended in the northern regional final, effectively the last eight of the competition nationally. Yorkshire club Sessay were reduced to 8-3 and 29-4 before recovering to post a good total, but Didsbury looked to have this one in the bag when they reached 99-3 in their run chase. Alas it was not to be, but as one of the first two Cheshire League sides to enter this competition, Didsbury have certainly demonstrated how favourably the League’s clubs measure up against some of the best that other leagues have to offer. CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE Division Two – June 17: Ashton -on-Mersey 82-6 (40; Azure Wilkinson 24, Poppy Donohue 2-13) (24pts) Leigh 34 (16; Wilkinson 3-7, Sarah Sutcliffe 3-9, Amanda Gettins 3-15) (3pts) • Ashton’s bowlers were all in good form as they combined to beat Leigh in this low-scoring encounter June 24: Ashton -on-Mersey 169-9 (40; Becky Baldock 43, Mary Priestner 33, Beth Garnett 3-19, Zoe Jones 3-23) (25pts) Stockport Georgians 151-8 (40; Beth Garnett 50, Jane Bellwood 30, Amanda Gettins 4-28, Amelia Beddy 2-24) (10pts) • A closely fought encounter, but in the end it was the fast-improving Ashton-on-Mersey side who held their nerve.

  • 379 – March 2019 (1)
    HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 379 – March 2019 (1) MEETINGS NEXT MEETING – WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH 2019 The final meeting of the winter, at the Ageas Bowl, and at which the speaker is the former England player, CHRIS LEWIS, will start at 8.30 pm (instead of 8pm) to enable members of the Society to attend the Hampshire members’ AGM beforehand on the same evening. DAY AT THE CRICKET The Society’s Day at the Cricket, now an annual feature of our programme, will be held on Saturday 13 July, which is the first day of the Championship match against Kent. Wednesday 6 March 2019 – Meeting The Society is delighted to welcome CHARLOTTE EDWARDS to this evening’s meeting. Since the first Women’s Test in Brisbane in December 1934, England have produced a number of players who have entered the national consciousness (even if the public would not normally have recognised them). In the 1930s, there was Myrtle Maclagan, Molly Hide and Mary Duggan. There was then a gap until the 1960s when Rachael Heyhoe Flint became an iconic figure. Her career overlapped with that of Enid Bakewell, still England’s best all-rounder, in the next decade. Apart possibly from Flint, none enjoyed a higher profile than this evening’s speaker. For the best part of two decades Charlotte Edwards was the English game’s most emblematic figure: an inspiration to every budding young woman cricketer throughout the land. We know from the appearance of Charlie Dean and Emily Windsor last year that she was the cricketer that all young girls aspired to be.
